Hootie's Highlights

Greetings Black Forest Hills Community,

First, thank you for your incredible support during our Fun Run! Your generosity and participation made a huge difference, and we are truly grateful. Whether you donated, volunteered, or helped spread the word, each and every one of you played a crucial role in making this event a success. A special shout out to our amazing PTCO board and parent volunteers that helped get the event set up and run smoothly. The funds raised will have a lasting impact on our students and help us continue to provide a positive and enriching environment for learning and growth. We couldn't have done it without the strong sense of community that we are so fortunate to have.

Thank you once again for your kindness and continued support. We are excited for the future, knowing we have such an amazing community by our side.

I hope that you all enjoy the weekend.

Go Owls!

BFHE, we are still a bit short of our goal (we are at 85%). Donations will stay open through October 7th! Any classes that meet their goal (or have 100% registration) win a donut party! If we hit our school goal of $65,000, Mr. Tullio and Ms. Bruetsch will get dunked in a dunk tank!

With community donations, PTCO was able to purchase soccer goals for the field for kids to utilize during recess, brain breaks, and PE.

Mrs. Knowlton, our amazing art teacher, is looking for glass jars (pickle jars, mason jars, etc) for a craft for our upcoming Maker's Night. Please drop jar donations to the main office. We would greatly appreciate your help.

Our Creepy Carnival Trunk or Treat event is coming up on October 25th from 5pm-8pm. We are looking for volunteers to decorate a trunk, host a carnival booth in the gym, and candy donations! Interested in volunteering? Please click on the image below.

Spirit wear is now available for online purchase. Click HERE to order. Any order placed during the week will be available for pickup by the front desk from 2:45-3pm every Friday, or there is an option at checkout to have your item delivered to your child's classroom.

We have updated the process to drop off student items Please see below for updated practice.

• Ring doorbell
• Office staff will let you in
• Fill out name slip and attach to item
• Leave item on appropriate table next to the check in kiosk in the vestibule (labeled Student Item Drop Off)
• Items will only be delivered at 10am and 2pm daily, so please plan accorndingly

After a couple of weeks of monitoring the process and due to the volume of phone calls and things that are going on in the front office in the morning, we are going to change which door students come in for breakfast. Students will now enter through door #9 (see map below) This is the same door they exit the lunchroom through for lunch recess. As a reminder, breakfast is served from 7:30 – 7:50. Thank you for your support of this change.

Thank you to everyone for keeping our community safe by not parking in the fire lane. We appreciate you!

Main Parking Lot Drop Off/Pick Up:

• Please do not park along the sidewalk areas (they are marked with red paint).

• If you walk up to pick up/drop off your child (like preschool or kindergarten), please park in a parking spot.

• Please follow the signs and “Pull all the way up” when dropping off or picking up so we can move cars quickly through the line.

• Please do not get out of your car in the drop off lane as it disrupts the flow of traffic.

• Please do not turn left coming out of our parking lot during pick up and drop off as it is a hazard.

• Please have students exit on the passenger side of the car because there will be cars passing in the left lane.

• Once your student has exited the vehicle, please pull into the left lane to exit the parking lot. Parking On Glasgow:

• Please do not make U turns on Glasgow at anytime during the day as this is unsafe and against the law unless otherwise posted. Bus Loop:

• There is no parking during drop off/pick up in the bus loop as we have four busses that need this space for safe parking, drop off and pick up. Thank you for your partnership in keeping our kids safe.
